Watch: Seahawks’ cornerback Richard Sherman tells CNN he has few regrets about rant but is stunned by racial reaction.

Richard Sherman has told CNN that he doesn’t regret much from his rant on Sunday and that he finds the racist reaction to him “mind-boggling.”

“There isn’t much about it I regret,” Sherman told CNN’s Rachel Nichols.

He is sorry about the “storm” that was created and that his comments detracted from attention the performance of his teammates. And he says personally attacking 49ers’ wide receiver Michael Crabtree was wrong.

Still: “It is what it is. I said what I said.”

By way of explanation, he notes that he and Crabtree have a history. Sherman says he also has to turn on a switch inside himself to become an “angry human being” to play the game. That switch, he said, was still on during his now-infamous interview with Erin Andrews.

But he wasn’t ready for how race became involved in the reaction afterward. He said he found it sad, especially because it came just before and on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
